Through high pressure processing techniques performed in a symmetric diamond anvil cell, a group of researchers from the Department of Geological Sciences at Stanford University have successfully ...

Crystal phase regulations may endow materials with enhanced or new functionalities. However, syntheses of noble metal-based allomorphic nanomaterials are extremely difficult, and only a few successful ...

Research has shown that face-centered cubic (fcc) composites with high-density and nanoscale deformation twins can greatly improve the balance of ductility and strength. Still, the microscopic ...

Cubic core: what is the crystal structure of iron at the centre of the Earth? (Courtesy: shutterstock/Johan Swanepoel) A long-standing debate about the structure of solid iron at the centre of the ...
